Philippe Clement is in the room...
--------------------------------------

PC: On Cardiff - several players scored good points and we will need that with seven games in 3 weeks. We need a big squad available.I think it was a positive evening.

*PC: Response post-Millwall was important.*

PC on Man City draw in cup ...it is far away and I am focused purely on Burnley. It is always an interesting game - everyone knows they are a good team but we will go with our own ID.

PC on debutants: Come out of it good. Darlan v good, Bruno needs time ton recover. Both available for Burnley squad.

PC: Slowly we need to build the newcomers into the squad physically.

PC on Schwartau ... he is a really talented player, only 19, played a lot of games already and he is a really big talent. For the moment his best position is #10, but has done really good things elsewhere fr the team. That is the priority - what he does for the team not the individual.

PC: Chrisene available for Burnley. Makama - needs to have his load gradually increased ... been two days with the team on the pitch and enjoying it. But he is not fully back.

PC on Dylan Jones loan to Tranmere -really ambitious lad with a lot of energy, I hope he can get a lot of football experience out of it.

PC: There are several teams interested in the fringe players, home and abroad. Expects movement before the window closes.

PC: Burnley have a lot of experience m- feels a bit like Coventry game last season for me. Hope we have a similar result.

PC: Lots of change at Burnley ...but PC says NCFC need to focus on themselves. This league is relentless. It is important we focus on ourselves - we know how much quality they have. But we are confident in our own qualities.

PC: After games, have the emotion, but then switch to the next game. I think Millwall will be a good lesson for the rest of our season.

PC on fans - they are super important home and away. So many at Cardiff and they were happy - saw magical moments- Ante - and two good goals.

PC: On the youngsters in the press conference today - super important work with Junior Canaries. A long time ago I was one of them..I had dreams, probably they have as well.

That's it from Philippe.
